Congratulations to longtime NERCRD research associate, Yicheol Han, who has accepted a position as a research fellow at the Korea Rural Economic Institute in Nasu-si, South Korea. Han (known by many as “Char”) will be leaving the Center at the end of the month, after more than seven years of very productive service.

Han's research focuses on modeling various socio-economic activities based on network science, and on determinants of regional development and resilience. During his time at the Northeast Center, he co-authored sixteen publications and countless presentations. He first joined the Center as a postdoc, and later was promoted to research associate.

While we are so sorry to see Char go, we share in his excitement as he embarks on the next chapter of his career. We wish him and his family all the best!
